Why answering in the caller's language matters in Murrieta

In Murrieta, 31.4% of residents are Hispanic and 18,094 people speak Spanish at home. Many of them feel more comfortable describing a leak or a broken water heater in their own language. If the call starts in English and the caller struggles to explain, some of them hang up and call another company.

Clara opens in English, asks which language the caller prefers, and continues in Spanish, English or Portuguese. Be realistic about it: most callers in Murrieta still speak English, so the biggest gain is simply answering every call, not only the Spanish ones.

A normal Monday, 6 a.m.

It is 6:10 on a Monday. A homeowner in Murrieta, near Murrieta Hot Springs, wakes up to cold water in the shower. Going down to the garage, they see the water heater dripping. They call your number. Before your phone rings, Clara picks up, asks them to close the cold water supply valve on the heater, and checks whether water is still running. She then books the visit into your calendar at the first free slot, reads back the date and address and asks for confirmation. You get a call with the summary.

You may be asleep or on a job in Temecula, but the customer already has an appointment, and their name, number and address are saved in your CRM. If they call again at 8 a.m., Clara already knows about the visit and confirms it.
